BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turfgrass Specialist I rcccntly received a tongue lash ing for not writing about new plant species that may become popular in the 1990s. ? Dozens of new plant varieties and new species are released every year through com mercial and university chan nels. In most states, the great majority of these releases are never em braced by the gardening pub lic and become a financial loss Williams to the nurseryman who builds a foundation on growing these 'new' plants. However, North Carolina nurs erymen have a dedicated friend in Raleigh. North Carolina State Uni versity is very fortunate in having J.C. Raulston, Ph.D., as a faculty member and director of the N.C. Arboretum in Raleigh. He is con stantly vigilant for plants that will flourish under North Carolina con dition.!. Raulston has helped nurs erymen beat the odds by introduc ing a number of very successful new species that have becomc very popular. The Lcyland cypress is an example of a plant that has becomc THE PLANT DOCTOR extremely popular in the last 10 years due to his efforts. In December Raulston presented a seminar entitled "New and Unusu al Plants for Nursery Production/ Landscape Use" to the Brunswick County Horticultural Association. In this presentation he listed 80 plant species that arc adapted to North Carolina conditions and have unique horticultural characteristics. Based upon his past performance, I A-ould bet that a few of these plants may just become the new plants for the 1990s. I have selected several species mentioned by Raulston with his comments, as listed below: UHibiscus moscheutos ? rose mal low, fast, large flowers, easy, many colors ? leave stems for winter in terest. MCorcopsis Sunray ? outstanding perennial with golden flowers sum mer through fall; self-seeds. ?X Amarcrinum howardii ? hybrid of Crinum and Amaryllis, easy, tough, showy with bloom several limes a year. Mh'ippiastrum ? "Amaryllis," har dier that most people think, doing well in Raleigh, use florist hybrids. MAkebia qui run a ? "Chocolate Vine," only one species grown com monly, seven at N.C. Arboretum. WGelsemium rankanii ? yellow flowered evergreen vine with fall and spring flowers. MSchiiophragma hydrangeoides ? "Moonlight," Climbing Hydrang- a, new woody deciduous vine with white summer flowers. MHamamelis x intermedia ? "Arn old Promise," winter blooming shrub with fragrance, varieties Sun burst and Primavcra my favorites. MCornus mas ? "Cornelian Cher ry," early flowering yellow shrub/ trees with excellent fruit and bark. MKosa ? Petite Pink, introduction from NCSU Arboretum promoted by N.C. nursery industry. Juniper substitute; good bcach plant. ? Came Ilia olifera ? hardiest of all camellias, dependable to 15 degrees Fahrenheit; white flowers in autumn. MCornus kousa var. angustata ? new evergreen form of Chinese dogwood coming into the nursery trade, budded on seedling or tissue culture rootstock. Ml.iquidambar styraciflua Rotyndil oba ? fruitless swcctgum coming into the nursery trade, budded on seedling or tissue culture rootstock.
